[Intro: Tobe Nwigwe & Madeline Edwards] I feel you all are the same It brings my heart so much pain I wish I could see some change I'll always go against the grain Go against the grain Go against the grain Don't just be the same Go against the grain [Chorus: Madeline Edwards] 'Cause you were made to Do what no one's done And though they shade you You shine like the sun 'Cause you were made to Do what no one's done And though they shade you You shine like the sun [Verse 1: Tobe Nwigwe] Aight, I feel like the masses on melatonin when it come to melanin I grew up melancholy 'cause I ain't realize that the hemoglobin in my skin Was connected to a lineage that never ever had to penny pinch Serpent hissing at me I take the blade to his neck to kill all the hissy fits Ouu, please don't try me, I get more than grimey wen it come to Juju Hence why my name is Tobechukwu and the flow like a tutu Wrapped around the waist of Misty Copeland Graceful even though I hail from broken places Where they say that none are chosen to rise among the raptors Like DeRozan Ouu Flow o so, so Jurassic Tough to find a suitor in my bracket Where I'm from My hood was filled with bastards Not they fault They daddy had it backwards Hopefully they don't adopt the habits Of the seed that turned them to a savage 'Cause [Chorus: Madeline Edwards] 'Cause you were made to Do what no one's done And though they shade you You shine like the sun 'Cause you were made to Do what no one's done And though they shade you You shine like the sun [Verse 2: Tobe Nwigwe] The atmosphere where I matured Was less than friendly Before they'd chase a dime They'd squeeze the nickel For a pretty penny Hey look we had beef on every corner word to Wendy's And I wanted to get away, or fly away, word to Lenny, Kravitz It's always hella static When you can't establish How to get some cabbage Or form a habit To make ya cash a tidbit more acrobatic Ouu, Ouu You know flipping cake not hoarding it Not hoarding it tryna change my mama Geographical coordinates 'cause, 'cause she made it out the village She deserves the tropics And I was raised around them killers You know, round them rockets Where they'd put metal to yo mouth Just like an orthodontist No gas at all I went from convict To being a comet Ouu [Chorus: Madeline Edwards] 'Cause you were made to Do what no one's done And though they shade you You shine like the sun 'Cause you were made to Do what no one's done And though they shade you You shine like the sun Sun, sun, sun [Outro: Tobe Nwigwe & Madeline Edwards] Shine, shine, shine Shine on all of them, shine on all of them My umi said to shine your light So shine on all of them Shine, shine, shine Shine on all of them, shine on all of them My umi said to shine your light So shine on all of them
